Being a teacher means..
- helping the students to understand their subjects better
- planning interesting lessons that students will look forward to
- remembering each and every student’s strengths and weaknesses, so as to better cater to their individual needs
- changing students’ perspectives of viewing school life (for the better, not worse)
- being a confidant to the students when they need one
Well, that’s about all the important factors I could think of to being a great teacher (at least for myself). Still can’t quite achieve all of them, but I’m trying hard nevertheless. =)
Yes, never give up!
